This episode got a clear mission, plenty of action, and a nice emotional beat at the end when Uzal puts Clarion in Nene's care and Clarion hisses at her . The Central Nervous Unit being detached sets up future plot points. The Defense Force surrounding them at the end adds some nice political tension. The show is doing a good job of blending its sci-fi concepts with its lighthearted tone. It's not trying to be deep or philosophical. It's just fun, chaotic, and a little bit weird.
